    • About Me

      Void. A paradoxical vastness and single pointed consciousness beholding an endlessly shifting kalaidoscopic array of fluctuating forms and meanings that ebb and swell and crash like waves onto the shore of my being. Sometimes I am the sea and sometimes the sky--a ball of confusion and a clear diamond. The universe playing with itself via the form of an overevolved monkey. A God, a demon, everything in between. Every day is a different story...

    • Interests

      I like music: writing it and listening to it. I'm very interested in mysticism of all types, from Buddhism to Sufiism; I am keen on altered states of consciousness including psychedelic drugs, lucid dreaming, meditation; I think love is dandy and pretty much what life is all about; I'm a fan of the beautiful and quirky; and I am interested in understanding my self, the human condition, and more general questions of metaphysics and Life.

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      Treatments

      Celexa Somewhat Helpful
      I used to take this. It, along with Zyprexa, made me feel numb and apathetic. It also made me gain 40 pounds in a matter of months. Not a fan, personally.
      Depakote Working / Worked
      I have been taking this for around 12 years. It is primarily for my epilepsy, but also helps with my bipolar disorder. It does not completely curb the symptoms but when I was taken off of it for a couple of week I went into a full-blown swing, so it must be doing some good.
      Seroquel Somewhat Helpful
      I do not really remember how well this worked.
      Zyprexa Somewhat Helpful
      I was taking this in conjunction with celexa so am unsure of it's effects alone. The combo made me numb and apathetic, which I find worse than the swings.
